The World On arirang

What will North Korea do next[Interview : Michael Green, Senior Adviser
Center for Strategic & International Studies] "It's not unreasonable to expect that in the next few months we will see, based on the historical pattern, a nuclear test."

But a former CIA official, Frederick Fleitz, expects to see more missile launches or other types of provocations from North Korea.
He says that, although North Korea DID run nuclear tests following their two previous missile launches, that doesn't mean they'll do it again.
Instead, Fleitz thinks the North Koreans will vary .
U.S. Missile Defense Agency Director Patrick O'Reilly, on the other hand, said, with last week's failed launch, North Korea seems to have made little progress in its long-range missile development.
So now that leaves the U.S. and the rest of the world on edge, looking for signs of North Korea's next moves, while China seems to be doing little to help.
Mike Turner, the Chairman of the House Armed Services Strategic Forces subcommittee, speculated that China may be helping North Korea develop ballistic missiles that could reach the U.S.
He cited the recent unveiling of the North's new road mobile intercontinental missile, at a military parade held in honor of the founder Kim Il-sung, as a possible indication of China's involvement quoting missile expert Richard Fisher as saying, the missile is "very likely a Chinese design."
Turner then suggested that Congress bring the issue to the attention of the state department, though so far, the allegations have apparently stopped with him..
